    Only when/if it is impossible to find, or totally un-affordable and I cant live w/o it...will I buy China crap from now on. And there is little I cant do without.
    Yep, I will look until I get tired of looking sometimes. Just tried to buy a collapsible dog crate not made in China... Not very successful
    "Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy." or in light of current events: training to stop a rioting, looting, molotov cocktail throwing, skinny jeans wearing, uneducated bunch of lemmings duped by, or working directly for, a marxist organization attempting to tear down America while hiding behind a race-based name

    Many states impose financial penalties for BDS or even for speech advocating BDS.
    So an ACT that was introduced but hasn't moved since 2017 is your example of a law? Do you know how many acts get introduced that go nowhere?

    So how does that effect me? Had that gone into law I what? .... wouldn't be able to not buy something made in Israel? I would be forced by law to only buy Israeli products? How does this translate to an individual buying a product? Which is what this topic is about

    And do you know how many sacrificial pieces of legislation they introduce knowing full well it will be defeated by the Republicans?

    It's a ****ing game. It's political theater. It's CA dems putting forth legislation that would make it a felony to use a gun in personal defense and GA republicans putting for legislation that would require every home to buy a gun. Neither is ever gonna happen.

    It's a pipe dream introduced to whip up their base and let the extremes be deluded into thinking they are actually trying. Seems this one worked on you.

    Also the specific legislation you cited did not apply to individuals in the US but would have applied to organizations such as United Nations and the European Union. But I'm pretty sure you knew that.

    It wouldn't, if you want to read the actual text of the bill and what was promoted it's right here.

    Yeah and it is becoming so clear that the democrats are such wonderful people. I guess you missed Ilhan Omars daughter said on Armed Forces day.


    https://patriotpost.us/opinion/70746...eat-2020-05-18

    "You probably don’t know who Isra Hirsi is. She’s a 17-year-old environmental activist, co-founder of the radical green group U.S. Climate Strike. She’s also an avowed communist. On her Twitter profile, she declared, “Yes I am 17 and I hate capitalism.”

    And she’s also Ilhan Omar’s daughter. Apparently, Omar has managed to instill her anti-Americanism in her daughter.

    Hirsi went on TikTok a couple of days ago and called U.S. soldiers “bit—s” and baby killers. How ironic that she chose a social-media platform that is controlled by communist Chinese interests to disparage U.S. soldiers. Sadly, millions of young Americans use TikTok. (Parents, wake up!)

    It was particularly disgusting and ironic that she was insulting the brave young men and women who protect her while children are being murdered. There was a vicious attack on a maternity ward in Afghanistan recently. The radical Islamists killed mothers and their new born babies. "


    But this thread is about China, and I don't want a racist to high jack it further.

    Never said they would. I just put a possible scenario out there.

    You specifically said it was illegal. Now you admit it was an ACT and hasn't passed just because. Keep back peddling. Hilarious.

    So....seems like it would still be legal for an individual to choose not to shop Israeli products. Which is what the OP's post is about! An individual choosing not to buy Chinese products.

    Yoni, a lot of this small stuff will probably never be made outside of China.
